thanks jet in oz
i buyed it as a kit 1000 usd ( front and rear bumper, m5 rear diffuser, side skirts, fenders, side m5 vents and rear spoiler)
paint and fitting cost me 500 usd
i only used front bumper and fenders. i'll sell my old bumper and remainig parts.

USD$1000 is a bargain as long it is quality. How is the fitment? Care to share a link to the shop you bought them from? You should also post this thread under the F10 / F11 5 Series Photos-Video-Media as I'm sure the lads over there would be interested in what you've done

I'm guessing an aftermarket kit since OEM cost more. Where is Cyprus as indicated as your location.

Curious...I looked at ModB****** M5 front bumper kit and I notice that u don't need to swap the fenders So am I correct at assuming that the bumper is actually smaller than the OEM M5 bumper? Just wondering if the aftermarket front lips will fit even tho it's not the OEM M5 bumper?

Definitely tempted as the finished look is suh-weet and I like the concavity you can get on the front wheels with the wider fenders. At this stage though I need to get my head around making the front end plastic while the rest of the car is metal. Have they solved the colour density of light coloured paints on plastic panels when paired beside same light paint on metal panels (i.e. have you not noticed this on the body panels compared to the M Sport skirts?).

Never heard of that issue regarding density?
